To elucidate the pull-out mechanisms of plant roots from soil, we conducted tensile experiments of model root structure fabricated with 3D printers. We found that the maximum pull-out force is dependent on the branch angle and the bending stiffness of the roots. We inferred that the motion and deformation of the root inside the soil plays an essential role in determining the maximum pull-out force.
